<h2 align="center"><A NAME="Log"><u><strong><font color="#000066">Log</font></strong></u></a></h2>
<p><font color="#000000">This tab contains a blank text box in which a helper 
  can store a user's log. No log format is required. The text box offers a right-click 
  menu to aid the helper in sorting out issues with the log (explained further 
  down). The context menu options are shown below:</font></p>
<table width="100%" border="0">

    <td>If a HJT log has been posted with wordwrap enabled, this function can 
      be used to de-wordwrap it, thus making it easier for the helper to read.</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><u>Copy to notes:</u></td>
    <td>Copies all the data in the logs window to the notes window and spaces 
      each line out. This can be used should the helper need to annotate the log.</td>

<p align="center"><img src="../../Images/FixFormIssues.jpg" alt="Issues Tab of User Form" width="826" height="442"></p>
<p align="left"><font color="#000000">The issues tab can be used to store a list 
  of problems that need to be addressed before a user can be described as 'clean'. 
  Data can be taken from logs (using the log tab's right-click context menu), 
  or added manually as per the helper's needs. The first line of the &quot;What 
  is it?&quot; text box is displayed in the issues list. The buttons on the left 
  are all self explanatory.</font></p>

<h2 align="center"><A NAME="Fix"><u><strong><font color="#000066">Fix</font></strong></u></a></h2>
<p align="left"><font color="#000000"><img src="../../Images/FixFormFix.jpg" alt="Fix Tab of User Form" width="830" height="491"></font></p>
<p align="left"><font color="#000000">The fix tab enables the helper to put together 
  a post which will be automatically be rendered ready to be copied and pasted. 
  Helpers add speeches that have been created using the <a href="../CannedSpeechDB/CannedSpeechDB.htm">canned 
  speech database</a> function. The buttons on the left are self explanatory. 
  The &quot;Up&quot; and &quot;Down&quot; buttons can be used to rearrange the 
  selected fix. Note that if multiple fixes have been selected, the &quot;Up&quot; 
  and &quot;Down&quot; buttons will only affect the top-most selected fix.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font color="#000000">The entire current fix list can be saved 
  into the fix history section by clicking the &quot;Add to History&quot; button.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font color="#000000">Once a speech has been selected and added, 
  any <a href="../../Customtags.htm">fields or comboboxes</a> will be displayed 
  promting for the helper's input. Another feature can be accessed by using the 
  'Request Logs' button. This allows the helper to add additional logs that are 
  not normally part of the speech as part of the final list of logs to be posted. 
  Note that pressing the &quot;Clear&quot; button will also clear all additional 
  logs added through the &quot;Request Log&quot; function.</font></p>
<p>The speech history section is present on this window. The speech history allows 
  you to store your previously set fixes that were posted to the user. This allows 
  you to monitor your fix progress, and helps with clean-up procedures that take 
  place once the infection has been removed. The fixes can be added directly for 
  the <font color="#000000"><a href="#Fix">fix</a></font> tab. You have a choice 
  of deleting a certain fix or clearing the entire window.</p>
<p>Few things to note:<br>
  1. Only fix names are placed into the history. Custom fields such as scripts 
  will not be saved and fixes cannot be recovered once they are removed from the 
  main fix window.<br>
  2. Selecting a certain speech in a fix set and pressing delete will cause the 
  entire fix set to be deleted, not just the specific speech.</p>
<p>There is also a notes section present in this window for storing small pieces 
  of information such as operating system information.</p>

<p align="left"><font color="#000000">This tab is a <strong>non-editable</strong> 
  text box that displays the final fix for the helper. The right-click context 
  context menu allows the helper to carry out a number of different functions 
  in a single click. Those are explained below:</font></p>

<p>A list of logs to be posted are automatically apprended to the bottom of the 
  results box. These are obtained from the <a href="../CannedSpeechDB/CannedSpeechDB.htm">Canned 
  Speech Database</a> itself. The formatting for this list of logs can be editted 
  using the <a href="../Tools/GlobalSettings.htm">Global Settings</a>.</p>

  box that displays a preview of the post. It uses a BBCode to HTML parser to 
  convert any code into a working, viewable HTML page, which allows helpers to 
  quickly review their fix and spot errors in their fix. The preview function 
  previews the post as of IPBoard 1.3. Currently, there are no plans to upgrade 
  this to IPBoard 3. This feature can recognize and correctly parse the following
